The government wants Indian carriers to launch long-haul international flights from India and create aviation hubs in India, Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said today.
“I want a (aviation) hub created in India for Indians. We would not want aviation hubs outside India,” Scindia said at a CII conference.
The Modi government, since it has come to power in 2014, has been of the view that foreign carriers are flying out a large number of passenger traffic flying to Europe and Americas through their hubs in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
